November 27, 2019 Open Space Management Plan: The drainage, access and open space easement areas within the development, including the 19' entry drive and easement area within the 30' off-site access easement from Shady Lane, shall be maintained by a Homeowners Association (HOA), to be established for the development. All other areas shall be the responsibility of the individual property owners, including the front yards and required streetscape trees of the residential lots. All property owners shall be required to be a member of the HOA. Dues assessments, required for the maintenance of the landscape easement areas and other HOA activities, shall be mandatory. The HOA, through a resident Board of Directors, shall be responsible for the maintenance and operation of the protected open space within the development, either directly or through a third -party management company. No full-time employees are contemplated to be necessary. The expenses required to maintain the walls and landscape areas at a quality level shall be estimated annually by the HOA Board, and dues shall be determined and assessed on each property owner in an equitable fashion at such a rate as necessary to maintain such a level of quality. Authority to enforce these requirements, and to place a lien on the property if such dues are not paid, shall be in the form of written Deed Restrictions and Covenants, agreed to by all property owners in the HOA at purchase, and shall run with the land. Provisions shall be made, in the HOA bylaws and Deed Restrictions, that in the unlikely event the HOA fails to maintain all or a portion of the protected open space in reasonable order and condition, the City of Southlake may, but is not required to, assume responsibility for its maintenance and take corrective action, including the provision of extended maintenance. The costs of such maintenance may be charged to the HOA or individual property owners that make up the HOA, and may include administrative costs and penalties which shall become a lien on all property in the development.
